ULLEVAAL STADION (VG) Despite seven goals in seven matches, Alexander Sørloth is out of the first team in tonight’s match. Nor is it the first clear choice for Norway in the goalkeeper position from the start.
Rune Almenning Jarstein has started 24 of the last 26 A national matches.
He was also named the best on the pitch in the 1-2 loss to Serbia, before keeping a clean sheet against Romania.

Now, however, it is André Hansen who guards the cage, while Joshua King starts from above.
– There must be some kind of balance, as both Sørloth and Jarstein have played two games in a short time I can’t understand it being anything else, says Kjetil Rekdal, who visits VGTV’s studio Monday night.
– Is it correct to shoot in a Nations League match counting?
– There may be some minor injuries or wear, or legs a bit tired. The obvious reason is that this is a certain way to roll, and you may want to play game number three in six days. And it’s not bad players who come in, says Rekdal.
Norwegian team (4–4–2): André Hansen – Omar Elabdellaoui, Stefan Strandberg, Kristoffer Ajer, Birger Meling – Martin Ødegaard, Sander Berge, Mathias Normann, Mohamed Elyounoussi – Joshua King, Erling Braut Haaland
Martin Ødegaard thus achieved his 25th international match and also won the golden bell.
According to UEFA, Tore Reginiussen, Haitam Aleesami and Patrick Berg are not on the squad.

Sørloth scored again against Romania in the previous match, but was still not happy after the 4-0 win.
– I’m a little pissed off after the game, because we see how good we can be. It’s a bit frustrating, but at the same time it’s good to get revenge. We played a very good match and we could have won six or seven zeros, Sørloth told TV 2.
Northern Ireland team (5-3-2): Bailey Peacock-Farrell – Michael Smith, Tom Flanagan, Jonny Evans, Daniel Ballard, Shane Ferguson – Jordan Thompson, Corry Evans, George Saville – Conor Washington, Josh Magennis
